Alice Nedosekina

Alice Nedosekina

I'm Alice Nedosekina, a product and design leader who accidentally stumbled into product design from a financial analyst role - and it turned out to be the best detour of my career.

My background in economics and data analysis gave me something most designers don't have: I can read a P&L, understand technical constraints, and build a business case as easily as I can sketch an interface. This weird combination has been my secret weapon for 13+ years, helping me design experiences that actually ship and deliver results.

I've worked across the spectrum - from launching a challenger bank from scratch (70% waitlist conversion) to scaling design systems across 5+ product lines at a global fintech. I've designed for millions of users across 20+ countries, led teams of up to 6 designers, and worked with everyone from C-suite executives to engineers in the trenches.

What gets me excited? Complex problems. Give me cross-border payments, blockchain platforms, or regulatory constraints, and I'm energised. I love finding the elegant solution that balances what users want, what technology can deliver, and what makes business sense.

I've delivered measurable impact: 7-17% increases in conversion rates, 50% faster sales cycles, 13% jumps in digital adoption. But beyond the numbers, I'm proud of building teams, mentoring designers, and establishing design operations that help companies scale.
Currently, I'm Head of UX at R3, working on enterprise blockchain and CBDC platforms that are reshaping how institutions think about digital currency. Before this, I spent 2+ years at Nium leading design across international markets, launched a neobank, worked with Standard Chartered's innovation lab, and led digital transformation for ODEON Cinemas.

I also spent three years at an agency working with clients like Sony, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, and BDO - which taught me how to quickly understand different business models and deliver quality under pressure.

I'm technical enough to understand front-end constraints (I can code in HTML/CSS/React when needed), research-driven (34 user studies at Nium alone), and early to adopt new tools (been using AI in design workflows since before it was trendy).

Based in the UK and always interested in opportunities where I can build something meaningful, lead great teams, and solve problems that actually matter.

Bryan Hackleman

Bryan Hackleman

Bryan Hackleman is an experienced Mechanical Engineer working at Advanced Energy in Fort Collins, Colorado. The company is known for its work in designing and manufacturing essential products across various industries, including semiconductors, flat panel displays, data storage, telecommunications networks, solar cells, medical devices, and architectural glass.

In his role at Advanced Energy, Bryan applies his strong analytical skills to research, evaluate, and solve complex technical challenges. His responsibilities also include project management, documentation, and technical writing. He is proficient in ASME Y14.5 GD&T and is skilled in using several CAD programs such as PTC Creo, SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, and Fluent. He is also adept at data analysis using tools like Excel, Matlab, and Minitab, and he has a solid foundation in finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. His expertise in Design-For-Manufacture (DFM) and Design-For-Manufacturing-Assembly (DFMA) principles is critical to his contributions to ensuring efficient and effective product designs.

At Advanced Energy, Bryan is responsible for designing equipment crucial for semiconductor manufacturing. He utilizes SolidWorks to develop derivative RF generators, modifying existing designs to meet the specific needs of clients. His work involves designing sheet-metal enclosures, heatsinks, and cable assemblies. He also ensures the proper packaging of electronic circuitry within protective enclosures and is involved in troubleshooting, testing, and debugging prototype power supply units.

Bryan's role extends to maintaining and enhancing the company's existing RF generator product lines. He is tasked with qualifying new mechanical and electrical components, particularly when current components become obsolete or scarce. He also conducts thermal analysis to ensure that these products maintain their high standards of reliability.

In addition to his design and maintenance responsibilities, Bryan actively supports the production process by addressing mechanical component issues as they arise. He focuses on resolving DFM-related concerns and improving assembly operations to boost efficiency. He also works closely with suppliers to fix problems with parts that do not meet tolerance specifications, recommending rework or adjustments when necessary.

Before becoming a Mechanical Engineer, Bryan gained valuable experience as an Assembler at Advanced Energy. In this role, he independently assembled and tested both electrical and mechanical components, following detailed schematics, diagrams, and verbal instructions. He also maintained a clean and organized laboratory environment, which was essential for ensuring safety and operational efficiency.

Bryan's educational background includes a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, both earned from Colorado State University (CSU). His thesis focused on the regeneration of oxidation catalysts through chemical washing, and he co-authored a paper on this topic that was presented at the 2018 Gas Machinery Conference in Kansas City, Missouri.

While at CSU, Bryan also worked as a Research Assistant in the CSU Hydraulics Laboratory. His responsibilities included maintaining equipment, preparing soil erosion experiments, and fabricating scale models for performance testing. He also gained experience as a Research Engineer for Pipeline Research Council International, where he conducted research on the degradation of oxidation catalysts and evaluated the effectiveness of chemical washing treatments.

Outside of his engineering career, Bryan Hackleman is passionate about art. He enjoys painting and drawing, mainly focusing on oil landscapes. He hopes to turn this creative passion into a side career by selling his artwork. Additionally, he is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys fly fishing and hiking, activities that reflect his strong connection to his Colorado roots. He is also an avid reader who constantly seeks to learn and explore new ideas, both in his professional and personal life.
